Dear Jay,
Please reserve tickets for my daughter and me to attend your show on March 20 or March 21. I’ve heard that people request tickets a year or so in advance, but that could never happen with us. We both procrastinate. Aside from that, we will be driving 2,300 miles in three days to get there. And I am one of your biggest fans.
It hasn’t always been that way. I was in the throng of reporters at the mid-1980s NBC Press Tour, when you and Brandon Tartikoff crashed the party on motorcycles. All of the reporters were awe-struck -- except me. I’d never heard of you, and the two of you seemed just a couple of egomaniacs in my opinion. To make things worse, you were booked for a show in Huntsville a few months later, and my staff writer produced a 56-inch story about you for my tabloid. I resented the time it took editing it down to a reasonable 30 or so inches.
For whatever reason, I taped your premiere on “The Tonight Show” when you became really famous. I had been a Letterman fan up until that point. All of a sudden, though, I liked you. You seemed to have more humility, and I especially liked the fact that we were about the same age.
So now I’m pleading with you to be a part of my Bucket List. For my 60th birthday last year, I promised myself a journey into the past -- to places long forgotten and places I have dreamed to go. My oldest daughter -- a clone of her old man -- is my companion. Together, our journey is called RaeRay’s Great Adventure. You can follow us on our blog at http://raeraysbest.com or http://raeraysbest.blogspot.com.
Thanks in advance in case you can get us tickets.
Sincerely,
Michael RAY Kaylor
